The magic formula
The magic formula of the American inventor Willis Career:
1. "What do I do if the worst thing happens in my life?" Ask a question.
2. Think of a way out.
3. In response to your question, write down three options and choose one.
Memento-mori
Anxious people do not live long. If we worry about anything, our health will suffer. Even a bad disease (cancer) that is afraid to be named is caused by excessive anxiety. Anxiety is especially prevalent among businessmen and business people.
"Live less and live more," says Carnegie.
Positive thinking
Our minds are full of negative thoughts. The only way out is to remember your happy moments. The closer we are to the positive, the more we are afraid of the negative.
Activity
The main reason for our anxiety is the lack of work to focus on. When a person does nothing during the day, our memory automatically gives way to uncomfortable thoughts. We need to increase our intensity and prevent anxiety.
Change the default
Anxiety is a habit. To get rid of a bad habit, it is enough to replace it with a good one. When you stop worrying about small problems and trifles, it is a sign of a new habit that is developing in you.
Probability theory
Do you know the "law of large numbers"? If you haven't heard, read on the Internet. The law of numbers is a convenient way to solve problems.
Definite solution
If you can't change something, then you have to decide for yourself that this is the way it should be.
Restrictor
To control our anxiety, you need to set a "limiter" that regulates your level of anxiety. The limit is to determine how much to worry about the event. Make it a requirement. Don't worry too much.
Interest
People like to pay too much attention to themselves. This is the cure for anxiety. To neutralize it, show more interest in the people around you.
Carnegie's tips are easy to apply. Because you have already remembered these things. Just the right intention.
